Over the last 3 months, I’ve been adjusting the original keto recipe to come up with a keto formula that works better for women: that keeps us in a fat-burning state, maintains our morning fast, regulates hormones and without using butter. Because for most of us, butter makes our insides go crazy.

And I call it, the Rocket Fuel Latte.

I show you why the classic keto “butter coffee” doesn’t work for women and the simple steps you can do to be a keto, fat-burning machine, all day long.

Why Rocket Fuel Lattes work, especially for women

4 simple rules for making a keto Rocket Fuel Latte that busts cravings, continues the fast and regulates hormones

Rocket Fuel Lattes make the classic keto butter coffee, better. Each keto ingredient has been specifically chosen for a purpose. In the video (above) I share the 4 simple rules for making a keto Rocket Fuel Latte of your own, if you want to sub ingredients for other ingredients.

Brew coffee, add to the jug of your high-powered blender along with MCT oil, cacao butter, hemp hearts and stevia. Blend on high for 1 minute. During the last 10 seconds, add collagen. Transfer to a cup and enjoy.

Notes

MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil: I like to use MCT oil in my keto Rocket Fuel Lattes. Totally a preference thing. Do what feels right.How To Make Vegan: Replace the collagen with a touch more hemp seeds, up to 3 tablespoons (3 tablespoons = 3g carbs, 9g protein) or with this vegan, low-carb protein powder.

No matter what you do with this keto recipe, I highly recommend keeping in the MCT oil (or coconut oil), collagen and hemp hearts.

I’ve become quite particular about my coffee beans. I’ve had good coffee beans (that make me feel on top of the world) and bad coffee beans (that make me sleepy, grumpy, stupid and shaky). I only recommend things on the blog that have worked for me, that I trust will work for you, too. Which is why I recommend the Bulletproof brand of decaf coffee and regular coffee as my coffee of choice. It’s the only bean I’ve used that consistently makes me feel good. Take it or leave it.

Does this replace a meal? Do you have lunch as usual? Eat when you’re hungry – sometimes I have an RFL with a meal, sometimes I don’t!

Can you have more than one in a day? You bet!

How does this not break your fast?

Fasting, for many, is about regulating insulin. Fat does not increase insulin, neither should a touch of protein and carbohydrates (less than 10 grams and 3 grams respectively). If you are fasting to maintain level insulin, rocket fuel latte is for you. If you’re fasting for other reasons, perhaps water is best. More about intermittent fasting…

If you’re already drinking Bulletproof Coffee and you give my keto Rocket Fuel Latte a try, I’d love to hear how you feel. Let’s chat about it in the comments.

If you’re new to the drinking fat thing, think of this as a sugar-free smoothie. It’ll do you good!

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION

I’m making a video for you! You like that? I said I promised I would sing to you. There you have it so you can all get off my back. No, I’m just kidding. I’ll totally sing for you again. Or, if your cat propped up his ears and started having a hairball incident in his throat, just tell me to never sing again and I will honor your request. Nothing to do with singing or cats or hairballs, we are going to talk about how to make your Bulletproof Coffee better. What is a Bulletproof Coffee? You may have also heard it called butter coffee. Basically it is a fat filled drink that you eat in the morning, or rather drink in the morning, instead of having breakfast. It’s a blend of usually coffee or tea, or you can use hot water. You blend it with MCT oil. There’s been a little bit of chatter online about how MCT oil is evil and shouldn’t be consumed. I don’t prescribe to that approach. Also, in a classic butter coffee, or Bulletproof Coffee, there’s butter.

Here’s the problem that I have with the classic Bulletproof Coffee of MCT oil and butter, especially when it comes to women’s health. A lot of my clients when working with one-on-one, and also in our keto group, which you gain access to when you purchase my book, The Keto Beginning. After the blended concoction, whether you make it with coffee, tea, or water, a lot of people have been dealing with cravings after it, or low blood sugar to the point that they get shaky, or hormone fluctuations. A lot of people are allergic to dairy, meaning that they can’t put the butter in the coffee. If this is you and you’re noticing some strange things after you have your butter or Bulletproof Coffee … Heck, maybe you’re vegan and you don’t do the butter and you don’t feel like downing some coffee with a bunch of MCT oil in it.

I’ve changed up a couple of things in the Bulletproof Coffee recipe that I seen butter resonates with the women in our community as well as with myself. I’ve called it the Rocket Fuel Latte. You’re probably thinking, “Leanne, what the heck? I’m going to have fat in my coffee in the morning? That is gross.” Here is how Rocket Fuel Lattes work so that you get on the bus with me and we drive to Rocket Fuel Latte town. The first thing is fat burning. When you wake up in the morning your body is primed to burn fat. What happens when we start our day off with a bowl of cereal, oatmeal, or maybe a slice of toast with some avocado on it? We stop the fat burning magic from happening, it’s quite sad, really.

The other reason why starting off the day with a Rocket Fuel Latte is awesome is because it sends the signals telling our bodies that everything is okay. With a Rocket Fuel Latte we’re sending a specific signal to your hormones leptin and ghrelin that tell us that we’re happy, we have the fuel that we need, and that all is good with life. When we have just MCT oil with the butter it can confuse these hormones. Leptin, for example, I imagine it like a little taxi driver that goes through your body and tells your body what fuel it has, what fuel it doesn’t. This little taxi driver gets up to your brain and says, “We need more fuel.” Your brain goes, “Oh my gosh, we need more fuel.” Really, leptin is all messed up because there’s tons of fuel left, leptin just got the wrong message and it’s like the telephone game and he got really confused along his way.

By using the Rocket Fuel Latte approach we make sure that those hormones specifically are calmed down and as women we also tell our endocrine system, which creates all of our estrogen, progesterone, and everything, to continue being good and happy and solid and perfect. There’s a [00:04:00] couple rules around making a successful Rocket Fuel Latte, and they all revolve around making sure that we stay in a fasted state for the morning because that’s when we’re going to burn the most fuel.

A couple of rules, there’s four of them. The first one is, less than 10 grams of protein per serving. The second one is, put as much fat in there as you’d like, girl! The third one is, make it less than three grams of carbohydrates. The fourth one is, if you stop eating at night at 9:00PM you are going to have your coffee at 9:00AM. There’s only a 12 hour window between the time you have your last meal and the time you have your Rocket Fuel Latte. Any more than that and it sends that danger signal, especially as women, saying that, “Not everything is safe, we should stop producing certain hormones,” and it can get all crazy on us.

Now, maybe you’re like, how can I get this rocket fuel action going in my life so that I can be situated? So that I can have normal hormones and that my blood sugar is regulated? That I can enjoy my blended coffee without the use of dairy because butter makes my insides crazy? So that I can abolish my morning and mid-morning cravings? And so that I can have a level head and a strong brain?

My team and I work on finding the best products that not only have quality ingredients, but care about their customers. It has taken us years to find products with ingredients and integrity that I can stand behind. These brands want to be part of our community, and this blog post is one of the ways we’re sharing their awesomeness. Opinions in this blog post are never ever influenced by the partner. Like, never!

Tried looking through previous comments to see if this has already been answered, but didn’t see it. I have a nutribullet for blending. Typically hot things can’t be blended since it’s all enclosed upside down. What kind of blender is everyone using? I have an immersion blender that I usually use for my BPC but I don’t think that’s gonna handle the hemp?

I’ve been drinking BPC for 6 months, and decided after reading your book and eBooks this week as I’m also doing IF. Love the RFL!! It took a day or so to adjust, but loving it. I use Swerve instead of Stevia, but loving the hemp hearts. Also, as a post-cancer, post-menopausal woman. Your content has been a wonderful resource. Thank you!!

Love your book and love your podcasts. I had an issue with my heart a year ago and it scared me into taking that expensive blood test for food allergies. I had severe toxins from candida and horrible intolerance to sugar and turkey, among other things. My cardiologist said it wasn’t food allergies causing my heart issues, but for the first time I said “not yet” to a doctor wanting to do surgery. Six weeks later with no sugar, low carbs and healthy fats…heart issue is GONE! My doctor was baffled, and one year later I am 50 pounds less.

I thank GOD I found your podcast after unsuccessfully trying to do keto for months, the internet is a confusing and conflicting place. I got The Keto Diet, my keto handbook, and I look forward to each and every podcast. I too come from a history of eating disorder (in my 30s, I’m now my healthiest and about to turn 50) so I love your fair, impartial, balanced approach and the fact that you speak openly about triggers! Love you!

I am a 70-year-old woman who has tried to eat well for years, but nothing I was doing was changing my bad report at my wellness exams. I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, was pre-diabetic, overweight etc. I have fibromyalgia, osteopenia, hypoglycemia, and hypothyroidism. My doctor wanted to put me on statins for my cholesterol for months & I finally agreed to take the lowest dosage he could give me. I took two pills and just couldn’t continue because I hate drugs. I was determined to change things myself with food. So I purchased The Keto Diet book, listened to The Keto Diet Podcast as well as practiced intermittent fasting, and at my very next wellness exam, I received a glowing report! He said I should be a poster child for the elderly. No need for statins, no more pre-diabetic, blood pressure was perfect. The best part of my visit was telling him I didn’t take the drugs. He was so surprised and wanted to know what I did. Leanne is just a love and her book is so informative and written so well that even an old lady like me can understand.

 Candi

LOVE your “listen to your body” approach! My friend and I talk about what you share almost daily!

 Kristin

Just wanted to thank you for being you, Leanne! I started binge watching your channel about two weeks ago and committed to keto after listening to your stories. We have a lot of parallels and I was suffering from extreme exhaustion and adrenal fatigue. Two weeks later and I’m already feeling SO much better!

 Cassia

After struggling with amenorrhea since 2009, I had nearly given up. Last year, I found keto and your podcast and have been on the journey of high fat, low carb, whole food, grass fed/finished meats, dairy free, NOT tracking, no more excessive cardio or hormone replacement therapy, I now take more baths, walks, early bedtimes, and listen to my body. Voila! The lovely lady friend has honored me with her presence. I couldn’t be happier!

 Tara

I have been tracking macros, but for the last couple of years my hormones felt so off, and my energy was at its lowest. I already feel amazing by following The Keto Beginning, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for helping me feel good again.

 Chloe

Leanne was a breath of fresh air and helped me realize that perfection isn’t necessary or healthy. I finally stepped away from MyFitnessPal, my Fitbit, my Ketonix, my labs, the scale, and actually started to care about what I was missing out on in the pursuit of “optimum health” and achieving a desired thinness. I’m still working on developing relationship with my body, food, fasting, and fitness — it’s a work in progress that I truly think I can achieve thanks to Leanne’s help.

 Ryan

Enjoying your gooey St. Louis cake at lunch today. I was a little skeptical when I was making it but it is a-mazing! I chose it because I had all of the ingredients on hand…would make again!!

 Susan

I have had issues with my menstrual cycle and being on oral contraceptives. I saw my physician and she is supportive of my whole food keto lifestyle and is supportive of me going off hormones for birth control. I want to thank you for being so open about your experiences and inspiring me to find my path. I think I’m on the right path now to find what works to be my best self.

 Amanda

I just bought The Keto Diet, and I’m excited to follow your approach. I joined other keto groups and found them to be pushy, with lots of dairy and no exercise. I have been following a Paleo way of eating for a long time now, and your approach will be much better for me. I’m so happy to have found your book and look forward to losing weight and gaining my health back.

 Christine

I have a fat disorder called Lipedema that makes my legs swell and makes it very hard to lose weight. It wasn’t until I found the Fat Fueled approach to keto that I was successful in losing 45lbs. Through a ketogenic diet, exercise & compression, I’m on my way to great things!

 Nicole

I have been on and off keto for years. I purchased the Keto Bundle a few days ago and read the whole book today. You answered questions I got from nowhere else – why I can’t sleep – why my carbs and calories are too low – thank you!

 Robin

My husband & I started keto 27 weeks ago & it has changed us! Down 76lbs! No more sleep apnea, knee pain, IBS & so much more. You have inspired me along the way.

 Pam

I’m new to Leanne’s version of the ketogenic lifestyle and I’m feeling better every day! I was starting to look and feel my age, and now I feel like my 30-year-old self and back in my sexy clothes! Life is good!
